Why is it a good idea to extend your bare hand forward when you are getting ready to catch a fast-moving baseball?

Physics
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago

Answer:d

Explanation:

It is good to extend your bare hand forward when you are getting ready to catch a fast-moving ball so you can pull your hand back, increasing the time to slow the ball thus decreasing the force.

While catching impulse is being transferred to hands imparting great force, lowering hand would increase the time so that average force decreases and chances to drop the ball also decreases.

A satellite of mass m completes one revolution around the earth at a constant speed s and radius r.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

d. The magnitude of the work done by the earth on the satellite is non zero

Explanation:

The work done is equal to the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force, the force and the distance act perpendicular to one another, therefore no work is done in the circular motion of the movement of the earth.

A spring hangs at rest from a support. If you suspend a 0.46 kg mass from the spring it elongates 0.79m.
Fudgin [204]

a. The restoring force in the spring has magnitude

F[spring] = k (0.79 m)

which counters the weight of the mass,

F[weight] = (0.46 kg) g = 4.508 N

so that by Newton's second law,

F[spring] - F[weight] = 0   ⇒   k = (4.508 N) / (0.79 m) ≈ 5.7 N/m

b. Using the same equation as before, we now have

F[weight] = (0.75 kg) g = 7.35 N

so that

(5.7 N/m) x - 7.35 N = 0   ⇒   x = (7.35 N) / (5.7 N/m) ≈ 1.3 m

TRUE or FALSE: During a collision between objects of different mass, there is a greater force applied to the less massive object
ddd [48]
If they are moving at the same speed then it would be true because the larger object would have more mass and would have more momentum then the smaller object that has less mass! Hope this helps!
